Pray For The Seed
00:02:58

|
| Pastor Jim, I, you know, for years, I've prayed for a harvest, like everyone, I've prayed for a harvest. | |
| Who hasn't prayed? | |
| I believe the Lord from a harvest and I pray for the harvest. | |
| Rod Parsley challenged me a few years ago. | |
| My daughter had had appendicitis and I was in the hospital with her and I was just tuned into Pastor Parsley's midweek service and he said something I'd never thought about. | |
| He asked the question, when is the last time you prayed for a seed? | |
| Because you always pray for a harvest. | |
| But when's the last time you prayed for a seed? | |
| I'd never thought about that. | |
| I've always prayed, God, this is the miracle I need. | |
| And there's so many times I tuned in or went to a service and I wanted to give something, but I didn't have it. | |
| Pastor Parsley challenged me that night. | |
| I started praying for a seed. | |
| And I want to challenge some of you. | |
| Pray for the seed you want to sow into this ministry. | |
| Lord, I want to sow 1,000, 10,000, 100,000, a million, whatever that number is. | |
| Lord, give me the seed. | |
| And watch if God won't do it. | |
| He'll give you the seed. | |
| Because he's the God, not just of the harvest. | |
| He's the God of the seed. | |
| That's it. | |
| 1 Corinthians. | |
| He's the God of the seed and the harvest. | |
| Pray for the seed. | |
| Now, there's a responsibility on it, though. | |
| Once you get it, don't go spend it on Amazon. | |
| Come on, somebody. | |
| When you get the seed, sow it. | |
| That's right. | |
| Sow it. | |
| And you'll reap. | |
| I'm declaring to you, you will, not maybe, not hopefully, not fingers crossed, you will reap the harvest. | |
| And here's the good news I have for you today. | |
| When you reap that harvest, you're going to find another seed in the harvest. | |
| Because he's not the God of the one-time harvest. | |
| He's the God of perpetual harvest. | |
| Every time he blesses you, there's another seed in the harvest so that you could sow again. | |
| So you can sow for another harvest. | |
| You're not going to go, you're not just going to be blessed one time. | |
| This isn't the lottery. | |
| You live under perpetual blessing. | |
| You go from glory to glory to harvest to harvest to harvest. | |
| I'm declaring over you that not only is God going to bless you, he's going to bless your children and your children's children and your children's children's children. | |
| In fact, your great-grandchildren are going to be so blessed. | |
| People are going to be jealous and say, how come you're so blessed? | |
| And they're going to say, I had a great granddad, a great grandmother who sowed a seed and it caused the harvest to follow me all the days of my life. | |
| And if you want to participate in that, listen, I feel like I'm on an old telethon. | |

| You need to run to that phone right now. | |
| You need to type in that website. | |
| You need to whatever it is. | |
| Clack, click, tag, scan, whatever it is you got to do. | |
| Right now. | |
| Get that seed in the ground. | |
| Do it before Christmas. | |
| Do it before Christmas because you're sowing for next year. | |
| I don't want to get, this is an issue in society. | |
| Chicago, L.A., New York, they would always respond to a problem. | |
| What if we start preventing problems? | |
| What if we prevent poverty from ever coming on our children? | |
| What if we prevent socialism from reaching further? | |
| You say, how do I do it? | |
| By sowing into good ground. | |
| That's you building up for the future. | |
